Factors contributing to the biofilm-deficient phenotype of Staphylococcus aureus sarA mutants.
Mutation of sarA in Staphylococcus aureus results in a reduced capacity to form a biofilm, but the mechanistic basis for this remains unknown. Previous transcriptional profiling experiments identified a number of genes that are differentially expressed both in a biofilm and in a sarA mutant. This in...
